“In a startling development, a man issued triple talaq to his wife via WhatsApp following her selfless act of donating a kidney to her ailing brother. The man, employed in Saudi Arabia, resides separately from his wife in Uttar Pradesh’s Bairiyahi village.
The incident unfolded as the wife, driven by a noble intent to save her brother, made the courageous decision to donate one of her kidneys. However, the altruistic gesture took an unexpected turn when her husband, upon being informed of the kidney donation, promptly delivered triple talaq.
The husband’s action, despite the wife’s selfless act, has led to a police complaint, and authorities have registered a case, pledging to take appropriate legal measures. It’s worth noting that the practice of triple talaq was deemed illegal and unconstitutional in the country in 2019.”
“The Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Act prohibits the practice of triple talaq and imposes a penalty of up to three years in jail for offenders. The Supreme Court has clarified that anticipatory bail can be granted in such cases, with the condition that the court hears the complainant woman before approving pre-arrest bail.
The recent incident has reignited discussions on the issue of triple talaq and has prompted a renewed debate on the necessity of a uniform civil code. The government has already initiated committees to deliberate on this matter. A Uniform Civil Code advocates for a standardized legal framework applicable to all citizens, irrespective of their religious affiliations. This common law would cover personal matters, inheritance, adoption, and succession, eliminating distinctions based on religion.”
